10 Sci-Fi & Fantasy Odd Couples

Fae & Vampire

(opens in new tab)

Who: Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Bill (Stephen Moyer)

Where: True Blood

Real-life partners Paquin and Moyer play the on-again off-again couple whose love story has more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing. Bon Temps is a hot bed of rudeness and inter-species bed-hopping, but their relationship is one of the show’s most enduring. The thing is, while we can see why you’re supposed to root for Sookie and Bill overcoming the odds and getting together in the end, we can’t be the only people secretly hoping our favourite Southern waitress ends up with the scene-stealing Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric, who forms the third point of their love triangle (and nabs most of the best lines).

Any other potential suitors? Ridiculous numbers, especially for Sookie whose nubile blondeness and exotic fairy ways seems to make her top of the lust list of every supernatural in town – Eric, Sam and Alcide for starters. Meanwhile, Bill’s most notable ex is Lorena – and their pairing gives rise to one of the most graphic (and literally snappiest) sex scenes the show’s ever seen.

Star-crossed lovers or happy ever after? At the current time they aren’t together, but who knows where they’ll end up. Their relationship is pretty much a revolving door of angst – we foresee a lot of Bill lurking in shadows shouting “Sssssssuckie!” into the wind in their future.

Think of the children! Definitely beautiful, probably broody and – bearing in mind revelations in series four – pretty much supernatural royalty. .
